CHRISTIAN ACTIVITY.

Come, labor on: Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain, While all around him waves the golden grain, And every servant hears the Master say, “Go, work to-day”?
Come, labor on: The laborers are few, the field is wide, New stations must be filled, and blanks supplied; From voices distant far, or near at home, The call is, “Come.”
Come, labor on: The enemy is watching, night and day, To sow the tares, to snatch the seed away; While we in sleep our duty have forgot, He slumbereth not.
Come, labor on: Away with gloomy doubt and faithless fear! No arm so weak but may do service here; By feeblest agents can our God fulfill His righteous will.
Come, labor on: No time for rest, till glows the western sky, While the long shadows o’er our pathway lie, And a glad sound comes with the setting sun,— “Servants, well done!”
Come, labor on: The toil is pleasant, the reward is sure; Blessed are those who to the end endure; How full their joy, how deep their rest shall be, O Lord, with thee. —Sel.
